Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 3 Journalists Share Posted March 3 Melbourne Cup winner, Knight’s Choice. (Photo by Reg Ryan/Racing Photos) Reigning Group 1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) winner Knight’s Choice will miss the autumn campaign after co-trainers John Symons and Sheila Laxon confirmed the five-year-old has suffered a leg injury and will head to the spelling paddock. The son of Extreme Choice was slated to run in this weekend’s Group 1 All-Star Mile (1600m). He will now be sidelined until potentially the Group 2 Q22 (2200m) on June 14. “We are disappointed to advise that Knight’s Choice has, unfortunately, sustained a knock to his fetlock and the subsequent filling indicates that it is best to put him aside for a few weeks to allow the oedema to subside,” Symons Laxon Racing said in a social media statement. Knight’s Choice is a six-time winner from 23 career starts, and following his win in the 2024 Melbourne Cup, he has earned his connections $5,842.400 in prizemoney.
